Biography
Born in Gothenburg, Sweden, PewDiePie originally pursued a degree in Industrial Economics and Technology Management at Chalmers University of Technology. In 2010, during his time at the university, he registered his PewDiePie YouTube account. The following year he dropped out of Chalmers to focus on his YouTube channel, much to the chagrin of his parents. Having been refused support from them, PewDiePie began working at a hot dog stand to fund his videos. PewDiePie soon gathered a rapidly increasing online following, and in 2012, his channel surpassed one million subscribers.

He is a YouTube celebrity whose comedy and video game commentary channel has currently earned over 61 million subscribers. His Internet show, Let's Play, focuses on horror and action video games. He was voted Most Popular Gaming Web Star at the 2014 Teen Choice Awards.

Due to his popularity, PewDiePie's coverage of indie games has created an Oprah effect wherein their sales have been posted, and he has raised money for charities through his "Bro Army" fanbase. Aside from his online activities, Kjellberg has made appearances in other forms of media, including radio and television.
